Attack

Cody Jamieson, Syracuse
Stats: 4G, 1A vs. Princeton
Although the play of the game might have to go to Tim Desko for whipping mud in the face of the All-American Tyler Fiorito with his between the legs shovel shot, Jamieson makes the top of the list for this week's ThunderBay Team of the Week. Cody put together four goals and tallied an assist in the 13-4 domination over Princeton. Jamieson now has 25 points on the season and is tied with Stephen Keogh for second on the team in points.

Rob Pannell, Cornell
Stats: 3G, 5A vs. Harvard
Named Ivy League Player of the Week honors his second time this season; Pannell led the Big Red to a close decision over the Crimson 13-12. Pannell put on a show despite being the focus of the well-manned Harvard defense. Pannell’s last shot with 11 seconds in the game lifted the Red to victory, giving Rob a spot on this week’s ThunderBay Team.

Jay Card, Hofstra
Stats: 3G, 3A vs. Delaware
The Ontario native was able to throw together one of his most clutch games of his season, posting six points in the tight bout between CAA foe, Delaware. Even though he attained a season high 8 points (5,3) against Army, this one was an in conference match, in front of a major league crowd.

Midfield

Andrew Brancaccio, Georgetown
Stats: 3 G vs. Notre Dame
Brancaccio was lacing the net Sunday afternoon. He got the Hoyas off to a quick start scoring the first tallie of the game. All of his goals were shot from good distances and proved to be too much for ND netminders John Kemp and Scott Rodgers, scorong on both of them. His two second half EMO goals get him on this week’s ThunderBay Team of the Week.

Cameron Flint, Denver
Stats: 4G vs. Quinnipiac
The Pioneers got off to a rocky start with losses to Syracuse, Jacksonville, and Penn. However, Denver has been on a five game win streak including this one in which freshman Cameron Flint banged off four; aiding in the win. Another Ontario native takes hold of a position on this week's team.

Max Weisenberg, Bryant
Stats: 5G vs. Robert Morris
After missing the season opening thriller against UNC, Weisenberg has marked a point in every game since, bringing him to the top of the scoring sheet on Bryant’s roster. He leads the team with 29 points scoring 22 goals on 43 shots (7 assists, .512 shooting percentage). Max’s five goals helped the Bulldogs get to a double overtime victory over RMU which was capped by teammate Gary Crowley's game winner.

Defense

Ken Clausen, Virginia
Stats: 1A, 2GB vs. North Carolina
IL's Tommy Kehoe will be ecstatic about this one. Clausen makes the ThunderBay Team of the Week debut in what is to be regarded as a tremendous performance to defeat the #2 team in the country, UNC and solidify the reason why they remain #1. Clausen got the game rolling with a coast to coast clear, or as Kehoe would say "running it Jaguar Paw style to other end" (good Apocalypto reference) which ended in a Steele Stanwick goal. Clausen was able to hold UNC’s star attackman, Billy Bitter, to only 2 goals on the day. Half of what he scored at last year's Big City Classic.

Peter Johnson, Yale
Stats: 2GB, 1CT vs. Dartmouth
A freshman from Minnetonka, Minnesota, Peter Johnson was the Bulldogs’ shut down defender for Saturday’s game. For this Ivy League match-up, Johnson drew Dartmouth’s leading scorer, Ari Sussman. Peter was able to shut the Big Green’s point leader (16,12) to just one goal and one assist which didn’t come until eight minutes left in the third quarter. His performance on shutting down Sussman for the first 37 minutes of the match also earned Johnson Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors.

Bill Henderson, Army
Stats: 1GB vs Bucknell
Bill Henderson had an undercover shut down game for the Black Knights. He was able to hold Bucknell’s Austin Winter to just one goal in Army’s overtime and second Patriot League victory. Winter scored in the first quarter and didn’t get a single point after that. Henderson was able to deny Bucknell’s point leader the remainder of the game which proved to be pivotal in their come from behind win in extra minutes.

Goalie

Adam Ghitelman, Virginia
Stats: 12SVS vs. North Carolina
Ghitelman gets his second career ACC Player of the Week honors and his first ThunderBay Team of the Week honor as tallying 12 saves on 43 shots by a high powered Tarheels offense. Ghitelman’s 12 saves aided his team to a win at the Konica Minolta Big City Classic. Adam and Clausen both play host to ACC foe Duke this coming Saturday.
